A GAVE DISCOVERED.
Bloody BIN Braage's" Refuge


LOUISVILLE, Ky, February 1S.-The Cottr-
Ter Journals special from sharp, Marsh AL
county, IN the southwestern part of the
state, relates the discovery of large cave
By two young men while engaged in prePRr-
ing piece Of ne y land for crop. A par
tial exploration developed the fact that the
cave was made up of many rooms Of great
extent. A complete exploration viii be i'm
possible until certain large rocks are blast
ed or broken away. In one OF the chambers
there were found two human skulls, about
$500 in gold and silver coin, and a quantity
Of silyerWEre. This newly found cave is be
LEV 10 have been the hiding place, during
the late war, OF baud Of gueEillas known as
BLOODY Bill Bradge's gang" These ma
RAIDERS were attacked near Benton, Mar
shall county, in 1864, and all but two we're
killed. These two escaped, and, going, as
1t is thought, to this cave, quaErelsd over
division Of the spoils of the gang, and fol-
lowing their murderOus bent, shot and kill
cd each other. Steps will be taken for
further investigation Of the cave and its
former occupants. It has been limited that
the cavern was more likely the headquarters,
many years ago, Of the notorious John
A. Murrell, Who robbed aud murdered the
people Of this portion Of Kentucky and the
neighbOring state Of Tennessee.

Sandy Short Dies from the Effects Of the
BAH from Omcer Wards Pistol.
TOPEKA, February 19.-Ssndy Short, who
was conn cted with the shooting affair which
occurred on Fifth street three weeks ego, in
which Officer Doc Ward was dangerously
wounded, died yesterday at IL O'Clock from
the effect of his wound. His death was
quite a surprise, for although it was known
that ne was suffering a great deal from his
Injuries, It was not supposed that his in
jurles would prove fatal. The remains we're
taken to 6n under ia sing establishment and
an'autOpsy was hel4. The doctors found
COL siderable trouble in locating the bullet.
After an hour and a half's work the ball was
finally found iznbedded in the shoulder, Just
under the lett side of the collar bone. The
ball entered the back, passing through the
left scapula, One-half inch below its spine,
ranging inward, outward, and upward, frac-
turing the second rib Jour and one-half
inches from the spinal column, striking the
interior surface OF the eiavicie and fractur-
ing 1t at the junction of the middle and
outer third. There was but little inhamma-
ton visible about the wound; and, in tact,
1t seemed surprising that the wound should
have proved fatal. The ball was found
lodged Just under the collar bone, which it
had fractured, and had it not struck that
obstacle it would probably have passed out
OF the shoulder.

The strike Of the cOopers in New York
City, has not yet interfered with the trade of
the miller :, partly because it is now their
dull season and there Is an imme nse stock
IF barrels on hand, and from the fact that
Knights Or Labor assembly No. 49 have not
YET been able to get control OF the men en-
plOyed at one of the largest cOOperages in
this vicinity. Another reason that the
strike is a failure is that the desire of many
of the cOOpsrs to return TO work causes a
lack Of confidence in district assembly No.
49. The cause of this want of faith is the
hascO made by the 'lOngshOremen's strike.
The master cOOpers have a large stock OF
barrels on hand, and plentiful supply can
be obtained from many of the little cooper
ages which only employ from six TO twenty
men, and which are scattered ali over the
city. If necessary, barrels can be brought
from Minneapolis, where there are millions
always on hand.

MIR. Edward Atkinson, the statlsti.
elan, illustrates the cheapness of
American government by novel
method-one that will arrest attention
when tables of dollars and cents figures
would not. Thus he shows that the
actual annual cost of all the functions
of our Government, including the
maintenance of government in the
Territories, and of armies and navies,
and of payment of the war debt. is
equal to the yearly earnings of 100000
men; that of Great Britain and Ireland
to the labor of 1,574,000 men; that of
France to the united industry of 5000
900 men; that of Germany to the earn.
ings of 100000 men, and that of Italy
to the result of the labor of 2,950,000
men. Whoever gives moments
thought to these striking proofs will
discover that there must here offer OPP
portunities for men that are not pre-
sented in the Old World, for indus
trial occupation, and for the accumu-
lation of property in all its varied
forms If, as he proves, it takes the
labor of but one man in America, to
produce contribution to government
support of an amount for which the
labor Of nearly four men is required

TO accomplish there what the earn
ings of one accomplish here, 1t follows
that our government is cheaper on the
one hand, and earnings greater and
more certain on the other. 1t costs to
robe kings IN ermine, support thrones
and lay them over with gold, to float
vast navies, and maintain great local
military arms 10 awe the people. Yet
the cry, born of demagogy, goes up

tocracy who rob the poor, and all that.
The truth is, all snch plants are the
mouthings of the unlhinking. When
they can point to land where there is
greater liberty, broader opportunity,
less restriction, cheaper government,
freer men, better offerings for labor,
and greater reward for its output, it
will be time to talk about topping
down our national structure and sup
plying its site with new theories of
government. What we need to do is,
not TO tear down, undermine, abuse
and vilify the American system, but
labor to keep it the cheapest, freest,
best and most liberal in the world.

A FUSS FOX NOTHING.

Because Governor Stevenson, in his
inaugural message, used, either inten-
tionally or accidently, a few general
expressions that might have been
copied from another inaugural, some
Democratic papers are bowling as
though he had committed the literary
crime of plagiarism. They print the
similar sentences, in adjacent
columns and unfairly leave the un.
thinking reader to infer that the en-
tire message was copied. Now the
truth is that so many inaugural mes
sages have been written all requiring
the same general statement as to
anxiety and diffidence, and the same
complimentary reference to the pre-
decessor that it is impossible to con-
vey the idea intended without repeat
ing something that has been said by
others. Aside from the two or three
phrases, which have raised such a
storm of Indignation, among writer's
who usually write their editorials
with scissors and paste pot ia active
attendance, the matter of The inaugu-
raj was entirely original, the topics
which were treated were of interest
10 the people of the State, and alto
gether the message was an able
document creditabe alike tor its
literary and for its intrinsic merits,
no more open to criticism on the
ground of plagiarism than would be
the hesitating "glad TO make your
acquaintance" uttered by a Democrat,
when introduced to mugwump.
